steel it is boosting the bottom line. we see it in all the steel plants. i learned a lot being here all day long. plants like this, plants all around the country really. the tariffs triggering increase in steel prices, really help these companies. the united states steel prices are going up while foreign prices continue to fall. this we'll talk about as the show continues today, even with the higher revenue, u.s. steel corporation stock price has been suffering. down for the year. when the tariffs in place the price didn't go up but profits went down. we'll try to make sense, investors wonder what will happen to this business if the tariffs as part of some sort of a negotiation end up going away? that is why we're really looking forward, just a few minutes to speaking with the u.s. steel ceo, david burritt. in a few moments he will be here live. plenty of questions, whether the president trade policy led as promised to more jobs in one struggling industry coming up. melissa: looking forward to that. great interview. several high-profile silicon valley exec

i reread the steele dossier today. the reality is if your sources didn't see the intercepts themselves, did they let you see them? >> did they let us see -- >> have you seen the intercepts? >> no. >> so what we have, then, is sources have been used before, and they're saying they were told that these intercepts exist. >> that is true. >> have they -- what kind of evidence did they provide you for you to feel confident that this was something you're willing to put mcclatchy's name on? >> well, for one thing, we got numbers. we have four sources who told us about this. and for another, we have read the beginning of our story to some of these source, make absolutely certain we've gone over and over and over it. we worked on this story really for months. >> did your sources to come to you and say hey, we have this new information, or did you go to them asking? >> well, it's been a dialogue for a long time. and my partner, peter stone did some of this sleuthing, but we both are well acquainted with the sources. and we -- i

as christopher steele reported. said the two sources who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is confidential. that was mcclatchy reporting in april of this year that robert mueller had evidence that michael cohen was in prague for reasons unknown ahead of the election. the report did not explain what form that evidence was in, or how robert mueller got it. and since then, no news agency has published a report matching mcclatchy's story, including nbc news. mcclatchy, for its part, has never retracted its story or changed it in any way. they stood by it. even as they stood alone on it. since then, michael cohen has pleaded guilty to a number of charges, including campaign finance violations that he says he made at the direction of the president. that case was brought by federal prosecutors in new york. michael cohen also pleaded guilty to lying to congress about his efforts on behalf of donald trump to build a trump tower in moscow. that charge was brought by the special counsel, by robert muell

a steel slat. that's an out. that's your out? >> i would say this is a guy whose willingness to stick to the facts nab question since his first day in office and i think, again, all of the republican colleagues and friends at least privately are as frustrated as i am and probably the folks who are following this story because this is a crisis that was totally created by donald trump. people shouldn't go through this trepidation in terms of federal employees. the senate leadership and republican house leadership told him a week ago that there were not the votes for this proposal. >> senator warner, appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> next, trump angry over the mattis resignation letter. we saw that coming but now more ang angry. people calling mattis the adult in the room. a and is trump's newly named acting chief of staff mick mulvaney in trouble before he starts his job? you heard senator warner refer to this? this audio unearthed by cnn's k file. >> but to just say build the darn fence

steel on how he thinks president trump's tariffs will impact the steel industry and consumers. that's coming up. >> he is doing the tough things to get people to the table to have a conversation. but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. comcast business built the nation's largest gig-speed network. then went beyond. beyond chasing down network problems. to knowing when and where there's an issue. beyond network complexity. to a zero-touch, one-box world. optimizing performance and budget. beyond having questions. to getting answers.

steele why did you need bruce orr to also get information from mr. steele and get it to the fbi. mr. comey. i don't know anything about a bruce orr connection to mr. steele. so to bottom line it, this was a pivotal relationship in the fall of 2016. the british spy was terminated by the fbi. he was able to keep up the communication with the fbi, through this justice department official bruce orr. the reason that's important is because bruce orr told the fbi that steele had shared with him that he had this very deep a amimous against donald trump. i think the phrase was he will do anything to stop donald trump. the reason that matters from an intelligence point of view, because it starts to speak to the quality and the motivation of the source and how they're collecting the information and how interpreting the information. based on the transcript, what was a very important relationship in the fall of 2016 in terms of information about the dossier, how it was coming into the fbi, director comey is saying that he was unaware of that at the time, arthel. arthel: katherine, i want to c

by steel dynamics that will employ some 600 workers. in the solar arena, solar power world magazine less more than a dozen u.s. companies for new facilities have been started and/or expanded. good stuff. only the united states my friends has the economic and moral might to keep china's global ambitions in check. as president she continues his ruthless consolidation of power along with aggressive global expansion, both parties need to consider this question. will you support policies that strengthen the hand of a murderous communist regime in china? or the policies that ensure a prosperous, strong, independent america? it's a time for choosing. and that's the angle. joining me now is michael pillsbury, director of the center for chinese strategy of the hudson institute, author of the phenomenal book "the 100 year marathon." mike, how big a threat are the globalist were clearly annoyed by the presidents $200 billion tariffs, only ten or 15 percentage points on that but they want those gone and they want to go back to regular order where c

he never met chris steel and didn't know the relationship. that christopher steele was passing information top bruce ohr. didn't know christopher steele was terminated for talking to the press. didn't know he talked to the price and didn't know he continued to work with christopher steele. i was mostly struck for that. here is the key player who put together the dossier that was responsible for getting the warrant, he didn't know a lot about him? those were his answers yesterday. judge jeanine: he and his lawyer went over all the areas where he could blois contradict himself. but for a case of this significance when he went to the president of the united states to talk about an unverified dossier, from the time that he heard about it, the time that he approved the warrant in the fbi, and he had to do it, you and i both know two or three or four times, he go to the president, talks by the, and never says to his staff, why do we get this from, who is this guy christopher steele. you and i both know from the public information that christopher s

( laughter ) now, he's been trying to float this idea for days, much like that yule log. ( laughter ) on tuesday, tweeting the wall will actually be "artistically designed steel slats." ( laughter ) we all remember that chant at his rallies. >> build the-- >> steel slats! >> build the-- >> steel slats! >> build the-- >> steel slats! ( laughter ) >> stephen: and he doubled down today. "the democrats, who know steel slats-- wall-- are necessary for border security, are putting politics over country." what's the wall going to look like when he's done downgrading it? "the democrats are sabotaging my efforts to build a giant beaded curtain like they used to have covering up the porno section at the video store-- wall-- sad!" ( cheers and applause ) i love these people. i love these people. >> jon: yeah, man. >> stephen: this is the magic carpet ride. did you get these for christmas?

steel is not. >> reporter: not just any steel. his product is produced in a machine. it molds and cuts the material in minutes. think steel home building kits, efficient, but could it really be safer, capable of withstanding the ferocity of a fire? >> everything is susceptible to the conditions that are there, but not only does it give that home a chance of survival, but it also gives the firefighters that respond a better chance at protecting the property. >> reporter: reseizing building codes may be one answer. >> reporter: the mayor of paradise hit it on the head when she said, "we're going to rebuild, but we're going to look at how we rebuild in this area." >> reporter: but tougher housing rules would need to be backed by strict enforcement. the building industry says california needs to consider what's at stake. >> we're in the midst of a housing crisis. >> reporter: he says developers also need to keep the buy in mind. >> is this a product that will provide that benefit at a price that does not push the price point of a house to the point where it's not feasible

power is made of steel. the prefabricated steel structures were supposed to make it possible to create different types of houses but the steel house remains the only one of its kind. in the housing estates served as an example for the later housing complexes of european cities after the war these us students from san diego are impressed by the pioneering designs i was surprised by the attention that these designers put in the living experience of the people who are going to occupy these homes so for example the ability to expand rooms in the steel house that we visited where the windows are respect to the air in the light the way that the windows would open depending on the climate that you are experiencing at the time every little thing seems to have a purpose this was the design of an entire city like the fact that they were thinking about where people would need to eat and drink and what they would need to eat and drink just the basic necessities in creating affordable housing bathhouses like not just art

so isikoff was the first to report on these stories that were later used by steele in the dossier and i want to make a connection here that steele was hired by fuse fusion g.p.s. a firm under contract by the d.n.c. and turned out the hillary clinton campaign and let's not forget that john mccain also helped to fund this dossier but isikoff is now arguing and saying that there is no evidence from some of the details of the dossier which is interesting because he was one of the first to report on this whole russia gate right and he's considered one of the experts that he and you know when he says this it's because he knows he has connections with them that work but at the end of the interview isikoff also said that robert mueller is now sort of reaching his end game and we might find out much more than what we know right now but did isikoff accept any responsibility for helping publicize essentially what he lauer largely a myth was largely fake news you know and the thing that he's pointed out to was he's said that a lot of the details in this dossier are false like for example michael

caller: i wanted to comment about the steel from china is inferior to america's steel. in mexico, toint, stop the construction of an airport in the capital. is because they want $12 billion for the airport construction. when you look at south american countries that the old hydroelectric plants for $4 billion. ecuador, for example. they built a hydro on the amazon river and it cost them $4 billion. why isn't mexico getting help from u.s. companies to build this airport? vagueould create a surplus of jobs for not only american construction companies, but mexican laborers. there is a disconnect. that is my question. host: is there a connection? >> there could be. i don't know enough about that specific case. the president halted construction of that on the expense.f excessive i do not know who the contractors are. i do not know if it will be companies.xican american construction companies would be very anxious to build it. most countries have, we call them buy american rules. in mexico, they are called buy mexico rules where local companies have the edge. i'm not sure the

caller: you mentioned about american steel mill. i think we have only nine left in america and most of them are owned by foreign governments like russia, china, mexico. , if we go toous -- what would happen if we there so many questions i have trump wants mexico to pay for the wall we just have to order from american steel mill owned by the mexican government. host: steel mills owned by foreign governments is what the caller saying true? guest: i'm not a steel expert there have been some letters coming out of congress. i think one was spearheaded by elizabeth warren saying all of the exclusions from the terrors put in place, exclusions given that were all given to foreign companies instead of u.s. companies. so that's an interesting factor. on the national security side i would say the tariffs put in place its the 25% tariff on steel imports. that was put in place exactly for national security reasons so the trump administration used the law that is not used very often but says we are doing this out of national security and to build

i'm alix steel. this special edition of "bloomberg best," and we are going to look back by looking at some of the most interesting interviews. conversations about the markets. the year began with u.s. equities on a bull run with volatility seeming like a distant memory. but a correction in february jerked investors back to reality and the wall of worry grew harder to climb. >> things are going to happen. there will be something that happens in the world. someone will get elected. a company will go under. a natural disaster. a cyber event. war, pestilence. something will happen that will cause all the relationships of one asset to another to have to readjust against each other. it has been an unusual time where that has not happened. people are not sure with the -- what the reason why is it people write dissertations down the road and they look back, they will say because of qe and central banks around the world buying risky assets, as much as they could get, almost as fast as that was issued, that te

president is now shifting from calling this a wall to saying he would be open to something such as steel slat barrier. that is a term we've heard him use over the past week increasingly. it's a clear recognition that semantics could be the key to unlocking the stalemate. of course, democrats don't want to give anything that's considered a wall. they want something for something like a fence or something that can be considered border security. but the president, his allies, are now trying to say that the steel slat barrier can count as the wall. yesterday trump at a signing for the criminal justice reform bill, it said the exact thing, this is giving him an out. he's saying the quiet thing out loud. it's a clear understanding he won't be able to get money for the wall if he's relying on democrats. >> that's what truck me most.

that's what steele was doing. that's what people need to understand. >> first of all, what do you make of his integrity? it's been so damaged in the public domain, christopher steele. >> i don't know the man, but by all account, he's writing down what people tell him. >> did michael cohen go to prague? let's get the tape. are we not going to discuss this? that was from the dossier, right? >> it was from the dossier, pete. let me be difficult for a moment. >> go ahead. i'm used to it. >> here is the problem. people focused on the things that were the most salacious, the most sort of -- give me another word. >> scandalous? horrible? unbecoming of a president? tell me when to.stop. >> no, no, you got it. >> but that's not what the dossier was about. in the main, the dossier was about russian intelligence operations directed against the united states. and in the main, that is being born out by publicly filed documents. that's what matters. >> cohen to prague? don't know. >> don't know. >> outside of the zen, check, so

nobody corroborated steele's so-called evidence. steele himself wouldn't stand by it when questioned under oath in an interrogatory down in great britain. even after it was used to obtain a fisa warrant. even when he said it was salacious and unproven months after they had the fisa warrant in place. james comey, i guess he will sleep well tonight knowing our two-tiered justice system will never hold him accountable. so too will these liars. people that lied under oath. michael cohen is in trouble tonight because of it. what about cheryl mills or uma abedin or bruce ohr, christopher steele, john brennan, andrew mccabe? eric holder? loretta lynch? they all lied to authorities, never pros cuted or investigated. let's not forget about james comey. he lied to congress under oath. i doubt he will get the cohen treatment tonight. then you have the king and queen of corruption, bill and hillary clinton. from mishandling classified information, obstruction of justice, the leading subpoenaed e-mails, acid washing hard drives with bleach. bust

it was not meant to be the final steele report. i've connected all the dots. it was i've done these interviews and i'm seeing these patterns. >> i want to get this in. this is the first lady speaking to fox news tonight. this is her response after being asked about how often she weighs in on decisions her husband makes. >> i know exactly what's going on. i follow what's going on. and i give my husband advice and my honest opinion and sometimes he listens and sometimes he doesn't. >> so remember we were talking about she publicly weighed in on mayor -- she was the national security -- they had the little tip. her comments, they leave no room. she has influence in the west winging. > that doesn't surprise me. >> all first ladies. >> all first ladies do. i don't think there's anything nefarious about it. sometimes she spins things or her people spin things she's trying to be a good or a better influence. i don't know about that, but the thing that struck me about that interview, you know, again, she continues to whine about a situation that she's part of and it's

by the way, they knew the source was christopher steele. really just one source but they like to create the impression for the court that there is multiple sources. no, that's circular reporting. to say recap the fbi under president obama, they got a warrant to spy on trump campaign associate carter page at the height of the 2016 election. in order to achieve this feat they had presented the fisa court judge with evidence that we know the fbi knew was sketchy and was not verified and they themselves had doubt about it ever being true. they knew the evidence was bought and paid for by hillary clinton that was withheld from the fisa court judges. the evidence was bolstered with the circular media reporting that the fbi knew christopher steele was behind. but, as we now know, that's not how so-called evidence was presented to the fisa court tonight, the smoking gun evidence that the leadership under fbi committed a complete and total fraud on the fisa courts by presenting the court hillary's bought and paid russian dossier as real intelligence

caller: i wanted to comment about the steel from china is inferior to america's steel. in mexico, toint, stop the construction of an airport in the capital. is because they want $12 billion for the airport construction. when you look at south american countries that the old hydroelect for just 4 billion, i can name a quitter, for example, they built a height lifting the amazon rir and cost them $4 billion. so what is it mexico getting help in this case from u.s. companies to build this airport? that will create a big surplus of the jobs are not only american construction companies but also mexican laborers. where's the disconnect? that's my question. >> host: is there a connection? >> guest: there could be. i don't know enough about that specific case. the president, president lÓpez obrador has halted construction of that on grounds of excessive expense. i don't know who the contractors are. i don't know if it's going to be built by mexican companies. i know american construction companies, , i get to the anxios to build it. but most countries have we call them by an a

us steel have noannounced six new steel mills. they have said the have not announced six new steel mills. there's no evidee of six new steel mills. he just made it up. >> the american people are doing well. >> that's fine. eople can be doing well and the president can be a liar. there's no contradiction between those two statements. [ cheers and applause ]o, >> seth:ell done. do you think -- i don't want too puinside his head but do you think he was unexpected for how prepared you were? what do yo there?was happening >> i think so. and to be fair to steve rogers, that's his name.gu very nic good sport about it. he does fox news most of his time. d if he does do other cable news channels, that's the same problem everywhere. unfortunately, interviewers on u.s. television tend to have limited time, limited recourse and just want to keep moving things along. and when i interview people, i try not to move along. i don't want to move on. i want to stick tot and try and get an answer. that's my job. >> seth: well, i think one of the thin

nobody corroborated steele's evidence, steele wouldn't stand by it when questioned under oath in an interrogatory down in great britain even when he said it was salacious and unproven months after the fisa warrant was in place. james comey will sleep well knowing our two tiered justice system will never likely hold him accountable. so too will these liars, people that lied under oath. michael cohen is in trouble. what about cheryl mills or hue ma abedin or bruce ohr, glenn simpson, christopher steele, james clapper, james brennan, andrew mccabe, lois lerner? eric holder? all those lied to authorities. they were never prosecuted. never even investigated in many cases. let's not forget about james comey. remember he lied to congress under oath. i doubt he will get the cohen treatment tonight. then you have the king and queen of corruption, bill and hillary clinton, obstructing justice, deleting subpoenaed emails, acid washing hard drives with bleach bit. busting up by hammers devices phones and blackberries, leveraging their political positions in order to rake in millions of dollars. the clintons

it will be undone eventually. >> when did you first learn about the steele dossier? mr. comey: sometime in september, i think. i think it was september 2016. >> the way the public is seeing the fbi, what the president is saying? mr. comey: people who know better, including republican members of this body, should have the courage to stand up and speak the truth, not be cowed by mean tweets or fear of their base. there is a truth, and they are not telling you. the silence is shameful. >> of the republicans in the house next session, do you see any taking that mantle? taking on the president? mr. comey: not yet. to my view, to the everlasting shame, hopefully they will overcome that and expect to their grandchildren what they did today. >> [indiscernible] mr. comey: kind of a vague -- >> in recent days the weight of the flynn investigation has carried a lot of criticism. in your view, should that have been handled differently? how do you defend it from the criticism -- mr. comey: think of what has happened to the republican party. they are up here attacking the fbi's invest

he tweeted out this image of what he calls a steel-slat barrier. wolf, after months and months on the campaign trail, of hearing the president saying he is going to build a wall and have mexico pay for it, this is where we stand tonight just before a government shutdown. the president says he is willing to accept the steel-slat barrier which looks like something out of medieval times. it is sort of a strange concept there, but the president is saying he won't obviously demand at this point a physical wall, that he could go with this steel-slat barrier instead. at the same time, wolf, we should note chief of staff john kelly just ran into our jeremy diamond a few months ago and told him that he believes -- and, of course, this is the outgoing chief of staff, but he has been talking to various officials including those that have been up on capitol hill like the incoming chief of staff mick mulvaney, and kelly told our jeremy diamond perhaps something might work out tonight, that they're trying to work on some kind of compromise. we don't have any mor

by the way, they knew the source was christopher steele. so it's really just one source but they like to create the impression for the court that there is multiple sources. no, that's circular reporting. so to recap, the fbi, under president obama, they got apy warrant to spymp on trump campaign associate carterr page at the height of the 2016 election. in order to achieve this feat, they had presented the fisa court judge with evidence that we now know the fbi knew wasne sketchy and knew was not verifiedhy and they themselves had doubts about it ever being true. they knew the evidence was bought and paid for, too, byy hillary clinton. that was withheld from the fisa court judges. the evidence was bolstered with the circular media reporting that the fbi knew f christopher steele was behind. but, as we now know, that's not how so-called evidence was presented to the fisao- court. so tonight, the smoking gun evidence that the fbi,nd under james comey's leadership, committed a complete and total fraud on the fisa courts by presenting the court

so another day of hillary linton's emails and the steel dossier. this while the president of the united states is lying about the f.b.i., attacking the f.b.i., attacking the rule of law in this country. how does that make any sense at all? republicans used to understand that the actions of a president matter. president matter, ment matters. of law where are those republicans today? at some point someone has to ofnd up, in the face of fear fox news, fear of their base, ear of mean tweets, stand up for the values of this country and not slink away into etirement but stand up and speak the truth. i find it frustrating to >> it undermines the rule of law. this is the president of the united states calling a witness who has cooperated with his own justice department a rat. say that again to yourself at home and remind yourself where we have ended up. this is not about republicans and democrats. this is about what does it mean to be an american. what other things we care about above our policy disputes, which are important? the values that represent the

bradley: that the growth -- jeff: that we've seen in the steel industry. mr. bradley: no question, some people can benefit from tariffs, but the economic literature of the past experience is that the overhaul costs of tariffs of the economy outweigh any localized benefit that you get. when it comes to steel in particular, also aluminum, there is an overcapacity issue with china. it's actually a component of the larger problems with china anti-competitive behavior. we ought to be looking to address that oversupply problem, that overcapacity in china rather than applying tariffs particularly against our allies. kate: so we heard obviously last weekend about this new china trade deal that you mentioned, but then the white house messaging was really confusing to investors and the president's tweets, what do you think about the way that that's being handled, what is the message that you're trying to deliver to the white house about how to address this going forward? mr. bradley: there is no question that this white house handles things in terms of international rel
